Kavanaugh Debacle

It will get heated. Can't take it, don't open the forum.

That penny hasn't dropped.
For modern musicians, the groupies ain't throwing away their meal tickets. But the ex-groupies who are now in their 50s and 60s, you would think something would come out. In general, I would say the music groupies are more vulnerable just in terms of not having any real options. Successful people gravitate toward each other in the film industry, musicians just like to bang hotties who do drugs and have some eclectic qualities.

I've seen memes being made dragging Elvis and Steven Tyler through the mud as pedophile groomers.
Elvis had slumber parties with 12-13 year old girls and obsessively wanted to fuck his mom so nothing would shock me there.

both are dangerous. we should work toward not doing either, as much as we can.

this woman is not being trusted because of inconsistencies in her story combined with the very suspicious timing, plus she is a political person with an opposing agenda to boot.

Seriously, what would you think of any story that involves you naming three people who were there and none of them corroborate what the 4th person says?

say a family finds their son goes missing and then his body is found later. the family calls it murder. do you ask the family "what it really murder though?" (or debate it on message boards, whichever) or do you err on the side of believing that it was murder, as friends and family and community, until you find out different?

it doesn't mean a witch hunt, it just means not dismissing the victim outright.

What does the evidence show? Boy is dead, but was he found with a gun in his hand and by all appearances that he shot himself with no leads or evidence anyone else was there?

Of does he have a bullet in his back and footprints walking away?

said before that i don't know what to make of the kavanaugh situation.

if you mentioned that story about the girl and you in bed, to another friend who was there, and they didn't remember it. does that mean it didn't happen? i don't know what to make of that particular situation.

Without evidence of an event, it is the same as not happening for all intensive purposes.

Depending on how well they would react, I would either tell them exactly what I thought, I tell others I did not believe them. My family making up stupid theories does not make them any less stupid.

That's great, but it makes no difference. I am not asking to impact a person's life in any way with my story.
